Thanks for the replies guys.  Budget wise it was looking similar to some of the other laptops I was looking at.  I recently returned a refurbished HP where I had a issue with Linux wifi card compatibility (and other issues).  I was mostly thinking it would be nice not to have to individually spec out the components.  I did find this list which suggested the laptops were Linux compatible.

I have not tried it out, but have definitely heard a lot from one of my friends who happens to own it. He was predominantly using Linux for his work, so I suppose even you are going to be doing the same. From what I have heard, it is quite user-friendly and a perfect companion especially for official purposes. The ability to configure it for a wide range of specifications is one of its strong features.

 

I have heard that the build quality and touchpad performance are the only two weak links. I am pretty happy to share this information with you.
